Mellow Mushroom has created a "Go Pink" cocktail and ribbon-shaped pretzels to benefit Susan G. Komen, a nonprofit helping to fight against breast cancer, according to a press release.

Beginning Sept. 26 and running through October – known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month — Mellow Mushroom will also donate $1 from every sale of its signature "Go Pink" Cocktail and ribbon-shaped pretzel order both online and in restaurants to Susan G. Komen.

The pizza brand will also donate $5 for every $25 gift card purchased online and guests will receive a $5 bonus, and guests may also donate directly to the foundation.

"We want to make an impact in the fight against breast cancer in a very Mellow way," Anne Mejia, VP of brand development at Mellow Mushroom, said in the release. "Mellow Mushroom's beverage team crafted a uniquely pink cocktail — using Casamigos Reposado as its key ingredient — and our culinary team transformed our popular pretzel munchie into a 'breast cancer' ribbon to make a very Mellow impact on this important cause."

"Mellow Mushroom's long history of creativity and innovation doesn't stop at their delicious food; it extends to their culture of giving back to their communities in a generous way," Ciarra McEachin, VP of Komen's Southeast region, said in the release. "We're so grateful for their support of Komen and breast cancer patients across the country. When you enjoy Mellow Mushroom this fall, you'll also be helping to create a world without breast cancer — it's a win-win!"

Mellow Mushroom operates restaurants in 19 states.
